I didn't think things like this happened HERE....there are bad, cruel people everywhere. It's not simply enough to be sorry for punishing an animal with a power drill. Baby's life was worth more than a misdemeanour. Let's make sure he gets the max for what he did.
PLAINVILLE, Conn. -- A man drilled holes in a pit bull's head as punishment for biting his son, police in Plainville said. Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Hena Daniels reported authorities euthanized the pit bull, named Baby, on Monday. Man Accused Of Drilling Dog's Head (WARNING: Explicit Pictures) According to Plainville police, Severino Cruz, 32, drilled several holes in the dog's head using a power drill after the dog bit Cruz's 8-year-old son earlier in the day. Plainville police said two brothers are being charged in the incident. "Severino Cruz left work upon discovering his son had been bit. He went back to the household and, in a fit of rage, grabbed a power drill and drilled the dog that bit this son ... in the head several times," Plainville police Capt. Peter Costanzo said. "He then went to the hospital to see his son." Police said the chain of events unfolded on Sunday when Cruz's brother, Enrique, the owner of the dog, was watching his nephew, Nick. Baby somehow got out of a cage in the basement and bit the 8-year-old in the arm. Nick was rushed to an area hospital and was released a short while later. When officers got to the house, they found another dog -- a 4-month-old puppy, police said. Both dogs were malnourished, unlicensed and not vaccinated, police said. "The sanitary conditions were terrible in the home and that dog was also taken and placed in the pound," Costanzo said. Police said Severino Cruz later told investigators he was very sorry for what he did. He remains in police custody. The other dog, named Coffee, is up for adoption at Plainville Animal Control.

Thank you all for signing. Mr. Cruz will be back in court on March 11th. The prosecuter is now charging Mr. Cruz with a felony which holds stiffer penalties along with the misdemenors. I firmly believe that this happened because of all the pressure Connecticut's people (and you from around the world) are putting on the legal system here. Mr. Cruz pleaded not guilty and we all know that's not true. March 11th is a pre trial hearing and many animal rights groups will be back in court to show their support for Baby. Please Google for results of the court date on March 11th.
Thank you once again for your support!
